How Clinked's White-Label Branding Works
Updated
Clinked's white-label branding lets you present client-facing workspaces under your own identity rather than Clinked's. According to the site, you can apply your logo and colours to workspaces, use your own domain, send branded email notifications, and offer a branded mobile app. The practical result is that clients logging in to share files, follow conversations, manage tasks or approve documents see your business's branding around the collaboration tools. This applies to client portals, custom portals and virtual data rooms; the custom portal option specifically requires an Enterprise subscription plus a separate build cost.
What "White-Label" Covers in Clinked
The site groups branding into a few concrete surfaces:
- Logo and brand identity — your logo and colours applied to workspaces so each one feels like part of your business.
- Client workspace branding — the branded space where clients collaborate on files, conversations, tasks and approvals.
- Branded file sharing — files shared securely inside those branded spaces rather than through a generic third-party interface.
- White-label mobile app — mobile access carrying your branding, so teams and clients can upload files, review updates, approve work and comment on projects from wherever they are.
- Own domain and branded email notifications — workspaces reachable through your domain, with notifications that carry your brand instead of Clinked's.
These are presented as options to explore rather than a single fixed package, so the exact combination depends on the solution you choose.
How the Branding Is Applied in Practice
Branding is configured at the workspace level. The site describes making "every workspace feel like your business, with your logo, colours and branding," and lists branding options for "workspaces, your own domain, email notifications and mobile access." In other words, the logo and colour scheme are set once as your brand identity and then carried through the workspace interface, the notification emails clients receive, and the mobile experience.
A useful way to picture it: a client of an accounting or advisory firm receives an invitation, logs in through the firm's domain, sees the firm's logo and colours, gets notification emails under the firm's name, and can approve a document or comment on a task from a branded mobile app. The underlying platform is Clinked, but the client's experience is the firm's.
Choosing the Right Branded Solution
Clinked frames its offerings as solutions matched to requirements. The branding depth and setup differ by type:
| Solution | What it is | Branding and setup notes |
|---|---|---|
| Client Portal | A branded space for everyday client collaboration — files, conversations, tasks and approvals together | Branded workspace experience |
| Custom Portal | A tailored solution built on Clinked's core platform, with changes to the interface, integrations or features | Requires an Enterprise subscription plus a separate build cost |
| Virtual Data Room | A controlled environment for confidential document sharing, due diligence and transactions such as M&A and private equity deals | Branding sits alongside access controls and audit trails |
If standard logo, colour, domain, email and mobile branding meets your needs, the client portal is the natural starting point. If you need interface changes, custom integrations or feature adjustments on top of branding, the custom portal is the relevant path — and the site is explicit that this carries an Enterprise subscription requirement and a separate build cost, so budget for both.
Branding Without Losing Control
White-label branding changes what clients see, not how access is governed. The site states that Clinked encrypts information in transit and at rest, that access controls manage who can see and work with shared content, and that audit trails record activity. Branded file sharing therefore still runs through the same permission model: you decide who can access the work you share, and activity is logged.
Two practical implications:
- Branding is presentation; permissions are separate. Applying your logo and domain does not change who is authorised to view a file or approve a document.
- Check plan requirements per feature. The site advises reviewing the security features, hosting options and plan requirements that apply to your business, which suggests some controls or hosting choices vary by plan.
Integrations and Mobile Under Your Brand
Clinked connects to tools businesses already use — native integrations for files, document signing and embedded content, plus connections through Zapier. These sit inside the branded environment, so a client signing a document or opening embedded content stays within your branded workspace rather than being redirected to an unrelated interface.
Mobile follows the same logic: the branded app lets teams and clients upload files, review updates, approve work and comment on projects wherever they are, keeping the client experience consistent across desktop and phone.
What to Confirm Before Committing
Because the site presents branding as configurable options rather than a fixed spec sheet, confirm these points directly when evaluating:
- Which branding elements are included in your chosen plan — logo, colours, custom domain, branded email notifications and mobile app may not all be bundled identically across solutions.
- The custom portal's total cost — Enterprise subscription plus the separate build cost, scoped to the interface, integration or feature changes you need.
- Hosting and security options for your plan — the site points to plan-specific requirements, so verify what applies to your business.
- Trial and pricing details — the site links to pricing pages and references a free trial; check current terms on those pages rather than assuming what is included.
Start from the solution that matches your collaboration need (client portal, custom portal or virtual data room), then confirm the branding surfaces and plan requirements for that option before rollout.
